/3TThe Old Liners are so tenacious

about persuading men to quit drinking whisky—aud as yet wo see none of their t. "fruits of "moral suasion." We were learned to judge of a tree by the fruit which ~5'ft bears, and were never yet deceived after

^tasting the fruit of a tree. But what aro the fruits of Old Line suai^jBion? Well, if we aro to judge as a fore--^caid, we would have to say there were, more distilleries, more groceiies, rricre wlus?''ky,'more drunkenesfi, mo.re.ci iuie, tVcbauch-

and wickedness. t\ Lot them prove their professions, by

'tlieir works, and then we will believe them •"and not till then. We repeat the interrog-! story of Dr. Fry, Where and when mil tike Old Liners of Montgomery County hold

be stopped, and the market would be glutted. These declaration were made and acted upon long before the Legislature met which passed the law old line dealers refused to pay ordinary prices but refused to

sell their corn even at a good profit upon

the prices they had paid the fanners. According to their logic the farmers corn was lowered in price, but theirs maintained its former value. But actual experience soon

dissipated these false and flimsy pretences. Corn continued to advance, even after the passage and enforcement of the law farmers

continued to receive remunerating prices, and speculators mado handsome profits, even though distilling was greatly checked. But in the course of time the law was bro-

ken down, the distillation of whisky was commenced with resumed vigor, drinking was carried to great excess, and what effect

has been produced upon the price of coi n? How does it compare now with what was given when the law was passed? Every man who sells or buys knows that corn is

now lower than it was when the law was in existence. But why this difference It simply results from the laws of supply

and demand. When there is large de

SNOWSTORM. .-.Si.'1'

vicinity,- so sayvpur oldest citizens. We were passing from one of our neighbor's to our usual pla&j of avocation during the time this .singular phenomenon occurred, and had an excellent opportunity of observing it. Snow flakes seldom exceed an inch in diameter, and when such a phenomenon occurs, it is generally noted down by our Meteologists as one of the wonders

But the flakes which fell on Wednesday morning were the largest ever seen in this latitude, and far exceeded any thing of the kind upon record. The largest wo observed

measured over two inches in diameter, and they fell in such profusion that we could see but a short |listance on either side of

us. f, We noticed a great many however, that

were fully three inches long, and an inch in breadth. The fall of these remarkable flakes lasted about thirty-five minutes, du

ring which time they covered the surface of tho earth to the depth of three inches.— The atmosphere was in the best possible condition for producing this remarkable phenomenon, being very moist and about

The Ambitious Youth.

Every sehocd boy will remember the

thrilling story under the above caption, in McGuffie's Fifth Reader, written by Elihu liurritt. It has generally been regarded as fiction but we have lately been put in possession of facts which establish its

truth beyond the,possibility of question. The youth's name was James H. Piper.— He afterwards graduated at tho "Virginia University, and was for a lime President of Columbia College, Tennessee. Ho was

never known to speak of the circumstance and when questioned on thesubject, so lively was his recollection of the perilous position to which his youthful indiscretion led him, that his face would assume an ashy paleness. The College is now defunct and the

whereabouts of Mr. Piper unknown. Our informant is tho Rev. M. Smith, pastor of the 3d St., M. E. Church, Madison, Ind. who graduated several years ago

at the College above named. II.
